Hi Yves,
The InitialValue is a particular beast for primitive types.
I encourage you to look at the IL created for your C# code in ildasm,
you'll get a class constructor initializing the field with a string,
like this:
MyClass::.cctor
{
ldstr "The Field Value"
stsfld MyClass.MyString
}
You just need to recreate this.
